One-on-One Tapping Lesson 3
|
 |
In this third 101 tapping lesson - we start to get into truly advanced stuff.
This specific kind of pattern is something I personally have had great use of - I have probably used it a little more than I should have!
The technique enables extremely fast playing - in fact the speeds possible easily exceed what would be possible to do with picking/legato. The two-handed approach sure is something for speedmonsters.
As always with tapping - the level of difficulty isn't that high. (Doing these kind of things with any other technique would require years and years of practice).
Create beautiful speed build-ups
As a contrast to all the speed talk - we are going to have a look at how we can incorporate this stuff into a solo.
By throwing in a short - but explosive - two handed speed burst, we can create great tension around the melody we are playing.
The trick, in order to avoid tasteless speed playing, is to not play very long passages. And always land on a strong note/melody.
If these kind of things are new to you - you are not very likely to nail the licks to the backing right away - it can take quite a while!
However, I enjoy soloing over this backing a lot, and you can do whatever you like over it. For instance, use the provided scales and just jam over it (= play the notes randomly and act like you know what you are doing).
If you master any of the previous tapping lessons - then try including those licks over this backing.
Keep tapping ,
